I was standing in the door looking at him & they came back in the house after me. Will Magan came first. He asked me did you say you were afraid of power and shot. I said I did not say it then Patrick Doherty said come on and let me alone. He did not believe I said it Ed King was the next man who came in and asked me the same question. I told him I never said any such thing then he struck me on the mouth with a pistol when Tim Reid struck me on the side of the head with a stick.
